NTSC Nintendo 64 RGB Booster (Continued)
Now we need to fit the 100uF 10v Capacitors, the first and second are soldered in very easily, the third needs to be laid down flat again (like the resistor), study the photo's below and the diagram from the previous page to see how this should be done. Make sure you leave a bit of a gap between the bottom of the capacitor and the Vero board, this will make soldering some wires much easier later on. Notice that the capacitors are polarised, the negative leg is usually marked somehow, see the line showing this, the negative leg is soldered so it is nearest the edge of the board.

Another wire to solder, cut a new piece of wire, and solder it as shown on the diagram - this is the 5v wire. Again, keep the wire too long so it can be trimmed to the correct length later.

Now the circuit has been finished, mmmonkey usually runs a knife along in-between the rows of copper, and along the cuts. This will remove any stray bits of solder that might be bridging the gaps.

Before proceeding, double check that your circuit board fits in the Scart plug casing, along with the actual Scart plug, if it doesn't, see what's stopping it and adjust as necessary.
